CCC faculty member, Arter, receives honor
by Frank Jordan
Staff Writer
It is the goal of many stu
dents to receive an honor such as
the one that was bestowed to a
member of the Clackamas Com
munity College faculty this past
June.
Dave Arter, beginning his
10th year as an instructor in the
CCC Chemistry Department, was
selected to help lead a seminar
during the Phi Theta Kappa In
ternational Honor Society’s
Honors Institute. The seminar was
held June 21-28 at the College of
the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass.
The Honors Institute cele
brated its 25th anniversary this
year. Today, it is known as one
of the “ultimate honors experi
ences” in this country’s scholarly
world.
This year’s Honors Institute
brought together approximately
400 of Phi Theta Kappa’s mem
bers from all around the United
States for an intensive one-week
examination of the study topic
for this year, “1492-1992: The
Dynamics of Discovery.”
Phi Theta Kappa is this coun
try’s honor society for two-year
colleges. It has more than 70,000
members in over 1,000 chapters
in community colleges, junior
colleges, and vocational/techni-
cal schools in the U.S. and Can
ada.
Arter explains that “one of
the primary focuses of Phi Theta
Kappa is scholarship, and this
(the Honors Institute) is a great
opportunity for students and in
structors to really help themselves
scholastically and professionally.”
Arter himself was involved
in some pre-institute activities
that gave seminar leaders the
opportunity to help themselves
prepare for the tasks that lay ahead
for them during the Honors Insti
tute seminars.
“During the pre-institute
activities, we (the seminar lead
ers) got to listen to some of the
premiere scholars in the country
today. These included J. Jorge
Klor De Alva, a Professor of An
thropology at Princeton Univer
sity, who I enjoyed a great deal.
Also, Trevor Pinch, a Professor
of Science and Technology at
Cornell, since science is my pro
fessional field of teaching,” Ar
ter said.
Many activities were included
during the week in Massachusettes
for students, as well as instruc
tors. “We were able to take tours
of the Boston area as well as take
in a few cultural events during
our stay,” Arter commented. “It
was a truly enjoyable experience,
not only professionally, but per
sonally as well.”
Arter is the co-adviser for
Alpha Xi Zeta, the CCC chapter
of Phi Theta Kappa. He is also
the Oregon regional coordinator
for the group. He is in charge of
coordinating activities between
member chapters in the Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, and western
Montana areas. Arter also puts
together a chapter newsletter
covering events throughout the
region, and also represents the
region at all national Phi Theta
Kappa functions.

CCC Board, CCC Faculty pass resolutions opposing Measure 9
by Robert A. Hibberd
Co-Editor-In-Chief
The CCC Board of Educa
tion and the CCC Education
Association issued resolutions
last week opposing Measure 9.
ThejCCC Bodrd of Educa
tion issued its resolution Wed
nesday.
“I’m pleased that the Board
took a stand on such a controver
sial issue,” said CCC President
John Keyser. “From a CCC stand
point, it is important to confront
the hazardous implications of this
ballot measure.”
The CCC Faculty adopted a
similiar resolution by a 45 - 11
Resolution of the Clackamas Community
. College Education Association (Faculty)

vote margin, only a day after the
College Board released its reso
lution. Teachers had varying rea
sons for why they voted the way
they did.
“Any educator, conservative
or liberal, should be concerned
about an outside agency dictat
ing what we will or won ’ t be able
to teach in a classroom,” said
Tom Richards, English Depart
ment Chaiiperson. “As a depart
ment chair, I will be forced to
make biased decisions on who I
can or can’t hire.”
“I teach homosexuality as a
normal variation,” said Marlene
Tufts, Head of the Psychology
Department. “IfMeasure9were
to pass, I would have to teach a
viewpoint that is not supported
in the field of psychology, a nar
row religious view; of course, I
would not.”
“Personally, I don’t hate or
despise homosexuals; what they
do is their business,” said Social
Science Instructor John Rau who
opposed the faculty’s resolution
to oppose Measure 9. “I do,
however, have great compassion
and concern towards the politi
cal agenda of the militant homo
sexual groups Queer Nation and
Act Up.”
Also last week, The Oregon
Counseling Association issued a
statement opposing Measure 9.
"Counselors will be affected
negatively with the passage of
this measure" said Bernie Nolan,
CCC counselor. "A counselor is
supposed to remain neutral when
dealing with sexuality."
